Pass Labs INT 60 VS. Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP VS. Arcam A49
Kenepeters- looks like you have plenty of information to digest here. This recent Stereophile review on a speaker of equivalent retail price may have some value. The 2nd page mentions the HP able to produce satisfying performance against some upper end SS amps. Not the exact specs as your speakers, but more perspective on the HP which may be useful. http://www.stereophile.com/content/yg-acoustics-carmel-2-loudspeaker-0#GIFxXDoBW4Em47mP.97 All of the technical stuff mentioned along with end user worship of the HP won't replace an audition. I took a leap of faith and purchased one only because of owning a lower level model for several trouble free years. Fortunately, I picked mine up before the MSRP increased! |
